Aug. 7th, 2009 06:33 pmSometime later this month or early September I'm probably going to take another week off. Except this time I'm not going on some mind-bendingly long road trip like I did last year, it'll be more like a bunch of day trips, maybe an overnighter or two. Dates aren't set yet, and I can always bail out and just show up at work anyway. (If I do it on the last week of August I can unwittingly enjoy it over 15,000 times!)
A bit more effort went into the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
overclockdheart community. Adding some information here and there, while anything design-related will be worried about later on (or handed off to someone else entirely). I'm trying to keep rules there simple and to a minimum, as I know full well how prone my ADD brethren are to tl;dr something.
As I have many many .mp3s (over 9000 and that's not an exaggeration), I figured it would be a good idea to consolidate them on a single drive (with backups of course) so that I don't have to plug in 20 hard drives to have the Full Effect. But! iTunes is kind of a dick when it comes to moving files, unless you do it the iTunes way, which I'm not interested in doing with 90GB of music. The way around that is to make disk image files, pour all the songs into those using the same folder heirarchy, and name the image files to what the hard drive was. Success! And iTunes is none the wiser as long as the image is mounted. Consolidating like this also has the benefit of not having to wait for multiple drives to wake up (and sometimes they don't), and when it comes time to get yet another new drive, it's a matter of copying the image files.
Hungry. Cook, or scrounge? Or both?
